Introduction
Modifying planet’s environment (※1) to more habitable one for human beings on earth. Mars is the most earth-like of all the other planets in our solar system.
Our dream of the terraforming is shown below. In long term,
- 1. Start Point of Terra Forming.
- 2. Microorganisms I (for adaptation).
- 3. Microorganisms II (for habitat manipulation).
- 4. Cyanobacteria / Plants.
- 5. Animals,
- 6. Human Beings
We try 2nd and 3rd steps by E coli. In short term or in those steps, our approach is shown below.
- Heat Energy Injection.
- Heat Energy Production.
- Atmosphere Generation.
- Organic Matters Accumulation.
- Water Accumulation.
(Introduction/ideas/story about terraforming)
Approach
Actually we have five ideas to terraform the Mars.
(Overlook of the five ideas)
Idea No.1
Introducing anti-freeze protein (AFP) to make cold-resistant bacteria.
Details in AFP method.
Idea No.2
Using Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans to gain energy.
Details in acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans method.
Idea No.3
Making black bacteria using melanin production pathway.
Details in blacking method.
Idea No.4
Enabling the bacteria to communicate with each other.
Details in communication method.
Idea No.5
Controlling the bacteria according to the environment by sensing the light.
Details in light sensing method.
